Television

Not that you asked, but...

I am not one of those Lost viewers who has abandoned faith or interest in the show. Sure its tone has changed, but I'm still hooked and forming grand theories to explain it all. I honestly don't get why so many people are decrying its supposed demise. Yet again I find myself holding what in the public sphere appears to be a minority opinion (my phrasing there hints that I don't believe myself to be significantly alone, in a variety of views, but I digress...). So imagine my delight when I came across this thoughtful analysis of the philosophical underpinnings of Lost and its main characters (naming on the show is not random, with characters like Sawyer, Locke, Rousseau, etc). Highly recommended reading for all viewers. [PS The season finale was great!]

In other television news, I will admit to getting a tad verklempt at the conclusion of Gilmore Girls. Sure the final episode drew on the show's cliches left and right, but it was touching and earnest and I liked it.
